Forcing CSS File - 1/11/2006 14:12:31   
Let me explain where I work before I get on with the question. I work at a university, and we have about 100-125 subwebs under the root directory. For the most part, I only edit, 10 of these in total. The rest are edited by students, professors, or staff members. We use FrontPage as our main editor(there are a few who use Dreamweaver and a few who use COmposer).

I have a set design made for most of these subwebs. I find that sometimes, users, by mistake more often then not, change the fonts, make the tables wider, change the link colors, etc. Then I must go back and fix this. Most of this happens while copying and pasting their content into FrontPage. Like if a user copies some text from a website or from Microsoft Word into FrontPage, it brings in that code from the other program, which in turn fools up the look of the page. Instead of uising the Arial font I have defined, it uses the Times New Roman, or whatever. It basically follows the HTML font tags or whatever, instead of the CSS file.

My question is: Is there anyway to force the webpage to use the CSS file, instead of using the font tags in the html? So basically, use the HTML code, unless something is specified in the CSS file.. then use that...

Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately the Cascading nature of Cascading Style sheets means that inline styling will take precedence over that in an external stylesheet.
